Cisco 501 questions...

Cisco experts,
I'm looking at the 501 because I want to support a small group
(around 10-20)
users, but I notice that you have to buy a 501 with user licenses? Is
this true?
I also require VPN (both client and gateway-to-gateway) access. Will a 501
do this?

Does anyone have an example of how this is done (i.e., setting
up a DMZ over a VLAN on 2 interface only PIX)? I've been all over the Cisco
web site and I can't find any documentation or example configs on setting
up a DMZ over a VLAN. Do I connect the DMZ on the outside or inside
interface? If I can go this route then I don't have to buy a 515E which is
$1200 more....

If you are supporting an office/group of 10-20 people, would that office not have a SoHo router to enable Vlan access to the internet prior to you installing a pix solution? The Pix 501 is a SoHo device, but has limitations (no dedicated DMZ port) and can be used as a routing device of sorts=2E For an SoHo solution you may want to use the outside/Inside interfaces as set ( security 0/100 ) and implement ACL's on the Pix appliance ( IP based to your DMZ on the Inside interface and prior to an IOS firewall )and use a router as an IOS firewall in the solution for your Vlan configuration=2E The PDM on the Pix appliance should help you configure Acl's, static routes, NAT and security levels of access etc=2E=2E I hope this was of some help on your issue, but you will need to plan this out completely prior to implementation=2E
